In the final mayoral debate of New York City, the three candidates engaged in sharp exchanges on crucial policy issues. The debate, held just days before the election, highlighted the candidates’ positions on a range of topics, including immigration, housing, and public services.
One of the most contentious moments came when all three candidates condemned the recent federal immigration raid targeting street vendors in the city’s immigrant communities. The raid, which focused on undocumented workers, sparked outrage among residents and raised questions about the role of local governments in immigration enforcement.
Candidates from different political backgrounds used the opportunity to emphasize their positions on immigration policy. The debate underscored the deep divisions within the city’s political landscape as voters prepare to cast their ballots in the upcoming election.
